Thadou
The Thadou have at least six different kinds of traditional cloths. They are men’s cloth, Saipikhup, Mongvom (Fig. 139) and women’s cloth, Saipikhup, Nineljem, Thangnang, Khamtang, (Fig. 137, 138), etc.

The Saipikhup used by both men and women are made of interlacing designs on the black base of the cloth. But the designs on the cloth used by each of the s*x, are different. Saipikhup (Fig. 141) worn by men has designs of Saipikhup (elephant’s knee), Changmaimu (cucumber seed), Suhtum (pestle), etc. The cloth under the same title but used by the other s*x comprises of the designs of Saipikhup and Changmaimu only.

Mongvom is a white cloth reserved as men’s wear which has extra weft designs on the border. The characteristic designs of this cloth are a vessel made of gourd and a musical instrument made of bamboo called Gosemjang.

Nineljem (Fig. 164) is for women’s use, which is black in colour and has extra weft designs.

Thangnang (Fig. 140) is a shawl. It has patterns of cucumber seed and Thangnang (an insect on tree). Between these two patterns there is a blank gap which is regarded as the space for python.

Khamtang, a fanek of the Thadou, is black and side borders are decorated with extra warp designs of yellow, red and white. But the cloth is longitudinally bordered with extra weft design of Linglukhuhjem (spike).

The Thadou Students’ Association (TSA) expresses its deepest sorrow at the passing of Pu Dongthang Haokip (75), a resident of DM Veng, Churachandpur District, Manipur, and the beloved father of Mr. Ginkhohao Haokip, a respected leader of our Association.

Late Pu Douthang Haokip breathed his last on 29 November 2025 after a prolonged illness.

Mr. Ginkhohao Haokip has served the Association with commendable commitment and integrity in various capacities, most notably as longtime serving TSA Bengaluru Branch General Secretary (2014-2018) and Vice-President, TSA Churachandpur (2018–2020).

In this moment of profound personal loss, the Thadou Students’ Association stands in full solidarity with him and his family. We share in their grief and offer our heartfelt prayers and support during this difficult time.

THE 68th
THADOU STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION
FOUNDATION DAY MESSAGE
29th October, 2025

On this historic occasion of the 68th Foundation Day of the Thadou Students’ Association (TSA), the TSA-GHQ/AITSA extends warm greetings and heartfelt appreciation to all members, leaders, and well-wishers across India and abroad.

Founded in 1957 at Motbung, Manipur, the TSA has been the enduring voice of education, unity, and Thadou identity. For 68 years, the Association has stood resilient through trials and transitions, driven by the indomitable spirit of the Thadou people — a spirit that no conflict or crisis can silence.

The theme for this year, “68 Years of Resilience: Thadou Spirit Beyond Boundaries”, deeply resonates with our present reality. The 2023 Manipur violence has left a deep and lasting scar on the Thadou people. Many TSA Branches and Blocks in Manipur remain subdued or inactive due to the prevailing circumstances and the dominance of Kuki supremacy. The Thadou community was misidentified as Kukis and tragically caught in the middle of a conflict not of its making. As one of the worst-affected communities, the Thadous have suffered immense loss of life, property, and displacement. Yet, in the face of hardship, we continue to stand firm — upholding peace, resilience, and the spirit of communal harmony. For we believe that peace is not for the weak or the timid, but for the bold and the strong.

Despite these adversities, we stand strong and assertive of our true roots and identity as Thadous. We categorically reject all attempts to misrepresent or subsume our distinct identity. At the same time, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to peace, justice, and coexistence. The TSA believes that the path forward lies not in division or hostility, but in mutual understanding and dialogue. We therefore call for greater community solidarity and cooperation between the Thadou people and the wider Manipur Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to restore peace and rebuild trust.

The TSA continues to operate as one united body — from the Central Working Committee (CWC) to Executive Members (EM) of its Branches, Blocks, and Units across India. Together, we carry forward the mission of our founders: to serve, to educate, and to preserve the Thadou identity with dignity and courage.

As we commemorate this 68th milestone, let us renew our faith in the Thadou Spirit — unbroken, boundless, and beyond boundaries. May we rise again, stronger and more united, for our people and for peace in our land.

Long Live TSA! Long Live the Thadou People!
Thadou Spirit Beyond Boundaries!

Let us honor our pioneers, remember our martyrs, and reaffirm the Thadou spirit — unbroken, undiminished, and boundless.

Long Live TSA! Long Live the Thadou People!

CONDOLENCE MESSAGE
Thursday, 12th June, 2025

The Thadou Students' Association (TSA) expresses deep sorrow over the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick on June 12, 2025, which claimed the lives of many, including two young cabin crew from Manipur - Miss Lamnunthem Singson of the Thadou community and Miss Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma of the Meitei community.

Miss Lamnunthem Singson, daughter of (Late) Lenminlun Singson, hailed from Old Lambulane, Imphal, and was currently residing at Kangpokpi DHQ as an internally displaced person (IDP). She had recently joined Air India as cabin crew in 2024, and her untimely death is a great loss to her family and the Thadou community.

TSA extends heartfelt condolences to both bereaved families and assures all necessary assistance to the family of Miss Lamnunthem Singson and Miss Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma’s during this difficult time.

May their souls rest in peace.
